-68.5% off the 399 high and the system still says BUY, that takes guts lol. but golden cross + ADX 37 is real, not hopium
adx 37 on something still 68% off the high is the part everyone sleeps on. trend strength comes back long before price revisits 399
golden cross and ADX 37 after a 68% beatdown is exactly how the last AAVE leg started in 2023. not saying 399 again but the system caught the turn before the crowd
the 2023 golden cross also printed while everyone was still writing funeral posts. drawdowns that deep are where the last sellers finally leave
2023 cross worked because nobody trusted it. Same setup here after a 68 percent drawdown, the crowd is still writing funeral posts.
Deploying 30k into something still 68% underwater from its high. I would wait for the retest of the 50d at 109.67 before tranche two.
waiting for the 109.67 retest is how people got skipped last cycle too. the tranche plan exists precisely because clean entries never show up on schedule
tranche 1 at 92 already ran, waiting for 109.67 is just hoping for a gift. if adx holds you pay up or you miss
adx can hold all it wants, if btc rolls over the 109.67 retest shows up on its own. tranche both ways and stop arguing about entries
tranche one filled at 92 while everyone waited for a perfect entry. id rather be early with a stop than right and unpositioned
this. aave is high beta, btc correlation has been above 0.8 for months. the system printing BUY doesnt cancel macro
0.8 correlation cuts both ways then. if btc turns the beta is the upside, and a cross printing after a 68 pct drawdown is exactly how the 2023 run started. sized small ofc
true but 0.8 correlation with btc holding 78k into the fed is a tailwind this week. beta cuts both ways and right now it cuts up
@Ingrid Falk the whole point of the 3 tranche plan is you dont have to nail the entry. first backtest trade already caught the 92 to 109 move
the 50d at 109.67 rejected price twice in august. calling it a gift retest assumes it flips first try, tranching handles that uncertainty better than waiting
august rejecting 109.67 twice is why im letting it prove itself on a daily close before the last tranche. system said buy, chart says wait, split the difference
two august rejections at 109.67 and people calling the next touch a gift. tranche logic exists precisely because nobody knows which visit breaks it
RSI 54.6 with price above both MAs is the boring kind of setup that actually works. in before someone yells about the MACD cross
6 bull factors vs 2 bear and conviction still only HIGH because stage 2 just printed. got a first slice at 96, the tranche plan is doing its job
6 bull factors against 2 with a stage 2 print at 125 is the most coherent verdict all month. the 96 entry already proved the tranche logic
RSI 54.6 and a fresh golden cross right after a 68 percent drawdown is rare alignment. most systems would still be flat waiting for extra confirmation at this point
rare alignment except the cross printed from a 68 percent hole. the 2023 signal took six months of chop before it paid anyone
six months of chop after the 2023 cross still ended at 399. worst case you wait like that again and get paid for patience
six months of chop after the 2023 cross still paid whoever held. id rather take that path than wait for a 109.67 gift entry that never shows
the entry window was 96, chasing 125 into a stage 2 print is how you get wicked out on the first 109.67 retest. let the daily close do the talking first
